Muscat: OTaxi, a first-of-its-kind taxi booking application in Oman, will be officially launched in a month, much to the anticipation of passengers who demand safer and more convenient taxi services.

OTaxi is an initiative by the Muscat-based Daleel Digital Solutions LLC, whose co-founders share the sentiments of the people, especially tourists, who are sometimes stranded or inconvenienced on the street while waiting for a taxi.

Speaking to the Times of Oman, Faisal AliAbdullah Al Manthri and Asaad Al Breiki, the company's co-founders, said that the preparations have almost been completed and the application is expected to be officially launched in a month after the approval of the Royal Oman Police (ROP).
